· October 2B, 1993 Mr. Dennis Welsch Director of Community Development City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Rosevil1e, MN 55113 Re: Grandview Townhome Proposal 'Dear Mr. Welsch, I have en¿losed our preliminary plat-application for a 62 unit townhome neighborhood which we are calling the t Grandview Townhomes. The Grandview Townhome proposal which is before you is the result of several months of planning by our development team. We hav~ tried to consider many factors, including neighborhood ~mpact,' existing utilities, soils, zoning, traffic, demographics, and home design. Several of the issues raised at our previous meetings with the 'City Staff, Planning Commission and neighbors have resulted in significant revisions to our initial concept plan. The primary issues raised in the concept phase involved traffic, density, building design.and open space. Traffic - We decided that rather than concentrate the traffic flow in one direction, it would be preferable to design the driveways to disperse the traffic in 3 directions. Density - We reduced the density on the entire site by 2 units with a more significant reduction on the north half of the neighborhood. The north half previously had 34 units as opposed to 22 on the submitted plan. BUilding Design - Two major changes wer~ mad~ in the buildlng design. One, tn~ roof line design was modified to give it a less massive feel. Second, the units on the north half near Grandview Avenue were changed from 12 and .8 unit buildings to 4 and 6 unit buildings.
